<p>We have been discussing the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty with
the US for a number of years as part of our continuous dialogue on security issues.
The US also initiated a series of meetings on INF with close Allies in 2017 and 2018,
during which we discussed the US approach and exchanged detailed information on the
Russian violation and how we might best achieve our shared policy objectives.</p><p>We
support the US decision to suspend its participation in the INF Treaty and start the
treaty’s formal withdrawal process. A situation where the US was respecting INF Treaty
and Russia was not, was not sustainable.</p>
